About this Event:
Contemporary and Modern Art submitted by regional artists, unfinished furniture embellished by design professionals and special art packages will be up for auction. The public is invited to enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres with the artists while viewing these amazing pieces.
An exhibition of this year's work will be available for preview online starting in October.
"It is very exciting to see this event come together," said John Robideaux. "It's especially fun to see artists and friends donate their time and talent to create art for the auction. Toni would find art in almost everything she touched. I know she inspired many people to become more than they thought they could be or do.
The original "red shoes" were a creation that came from Kathy Seacrest, (Design Spike), and Toni when Kathy worked for us. I'm thankful to know that others will be inspired in Toni's name, now and in the future."
